Cavani, Diego Costa and the best strikers possibly heading to the Premier League

2. Diego Costa

He may have been injured when Atletico Madrid clinched the Liga title at Camp Nou but Diego Costa was, without a doubt, the club's star man throughout the season.

The Brazilian-born Spain international has long been linked with a move to Chelsea and Goal understands a deal has been agreed with Atleti, as Jose Mourinho looks to end his striker crisis with the addition of the 25-year-old.

He could yet end the season as a double winner – with a Champions League final against Real Madrid looming large on the horizon – and it would be well deserved, with Costa having scored eight goals in eight European appearances, as well as 27 in 35 in the domestic league.

He is the undisputed star of this Atleti team and it will take someone incredibly special to replace him if, or when, he leaves for London.

With his price set at £35m Diego Simeone will have a fair chunk of change to acquire a striker to fill his boots but, on current form, it looks as though Mourinho will be getting a bargain.
